286992 - error does not mention lack of available disk space: Profile Creation failed: Profile couldn't be created. Probably the chosen folder isn't writable. (2/2)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

Description

[timeless]

preface:
user = test
os = wxp
fs = ntfs5
quotas = enabled for user test on volume c:, limit: 1mb
if you need access to a quotable account running on w2k, it can be arranged
(rdc/mstsc/rdesktop to raistlin)

<title>Alert
<p>Mozilla cannot use the profile "User" because it is in use.

<p>Please choose another profile or create a new one."	const unsigned short *

<input type=submit value=ok>OK

it's a pretty dialog, unfortunately it's pretty wrong. the os refused to
allocate disk space for the user. there are no instances of mozilla running as
user test and the user test has *never* used the profile "User", only created it
in a successful attempt to run out of usable disk space (by reaching the disk
quota).

expected results:
1. proper error reporting
2. let me use the profile anyway (readonly if necessary); at this point i can no
longer run mozilla, and because of 1 i have no idea how to rectify the situation.
